Gooru establishes partnerships with leading researchers in data science, learning science, psychology, cognitive science, and teacher education from around the world to develop Navigator technology.

NLC is Diverse

Content providers, administrators, and implementers contribute to Navigator applications and use them with their cohorts. Researchers bring learning science and data science to develop models for learner identity, use principles of learning in suggesting individual pathways, and estimate the efficacy of learning activities. Funders fuel innovation, place a spotlight on the diversity of learners, the complexity of learning, and the intricacies of the learning ecosystem.

Researchers: Gooru is a research-led organization that provides a pathway to impact for researchers. Leading researchers in data science, learning science, psychology, sociology, economics, and teacher education from around the world, collaborate and bring their science and expertise in data science, learning science, teacher education, cognitive science, and computer science to the learners. Researchers gain access to anonymized data in social, emotional, algorithms, and specific disciplines to further their fields and innovate the system while joining a mission to support learning outcomes for all learners and innovating an existing product used by millions.Researchers not only use Navigator’s existing tools, but can add tools and features based on their research needs.  

Researchers in the collaborative help define learning metrics by querying the database, requesting metadata, tracking student decisions, and developing tools or algorithms that will be incorporated into the Navigator to study efficacy, validate tools, improve learning effectiveness, or quickly test hypotheses with real-world data.The expertise researchers bring to the collaborative supports the operationalization of the science of learning with big-data to create a personalized learning experience that enables strong outcomes.

Content providers: Content providers, implementers, groups with highly curated and scrutinized open education resources, and administrators bring expertise and content to Navigator courses. We welcome content experts from any discipline, in any language, for any age group, with any type of curated content. Content providers develop a competency model and migrate their existing content to be aligned with the competency model. Once your content is added, tagged with metadata, and crosswalked to standards you can begin to study the efficacy of your content, validate your content, and share highly curated content with learners and help them achieve learning outcomes. 

Content providers track and use learning outcomes based on learners using your content. You can create metadata and tags to track certain pieces of learning at every grain size. Based on learning outcomes and content tracking metrics, content providers can iterate on content in real time to increase learning efficacy. As a content provider you will be joining a mission to support learning outcomes for all learners and innovating an existing product used by millions.

Tool providers contribute to building a comprehensive toolbar to enhance and support student learning in varied areas, such as tools for special education, decoder, glossary, text to speech, speech to text, graphing tools, notepad, or peer to peer.

Gooru maintains the infrastructure and tool providers can access thousands of varied learners and instructors to study efficacy, validate tools, and track use and learning outcomes.You will help define the tracking and metadata surrounding your tool so you can track use at different grain sizes and see learner journeys before and after tool use. As a tool provider, you will be joining a mission to support learning outcomes for all learners and innovating an existing product used by millions.

Gooru is a non profit dedicated to the human right of education. It makes learning tools to facilitate educators and learners everywhere.

Lab Schools: Lab Schools are collaborators in the K-12 space who want to be involved in the research to practice cycle. Lab schools implement Navigator in their classes and cohorts, they create content and courses, and track learning competencies, and implementation techniques to boost learning outcomes. Instructors and administrators have access to different levels of real-time data to make in-the-moment modifications to teaching and learning approaches or provide additional support to struggling learners.  

Our labs schools can intricately track learning and collaborate with other instructors by making materials available to instructors everywhere through Navigator’s catalog, and providing anonymized data to improve the navigated learning experience for all collaborators. Lab school feedback and the ability to study learning and implementations practices is integral to Navigators innovation. Our lab schools are joining a mission to support learning outcomes for all learners and innovating an existing product used by millions.
